I have a 2004 A4. I know there have been other threads devoted to connecting an iPod but I'm still very confused.

All I want to do is have a wire that I can connect my iPod to and plays directly through the stereo. I don't mind controlling the iPod on the device itself, and don't care if the name of the song scrolls on the car display. Can anyone recommend a device and where to purchase it? Also, will any mechanic be able to simply install it?

Thanks in advance

 

If there is a cassette player, just buy one of the adapters for like $20. Easy peasy

 

Right but the sound quality is not great on those

 

yeah the sound quality blows man. i've been wondering the same questions as teh OP...

 

If you take it to the dealer for the ipod hookup....you'll probably spend about $400. $200 for parts and $200 for installation.
